woot.
yaaaaay! having seth here was awesome fo shizzle rizz. =D it'll be fun if he can come down in october for a weekend when the switchfoot concert's happenin', but try to come back down again, amigo.
=X=
today was fun. i actually stayed up til like 1:30 AM workin on my story (Mine Eyes To The Hills, based on psalm 121), and then realized, "crap, time to sleep," but i kept thinking about what Holly told me, what she felt God laying on her heart to tell me: "can't hide." like she said, "i don't understand it, but it's not for me." and i really think that message can apply to me in a lot of different ways. oh God, be not far from me... i've been hiding in many ways for so long, and i will need Your grace to encourage me and guide me. i've gotten better at stuff thanks to You, but there's always so much to learn. so, because of that message, i got to thinking about a certain psalm... and spent half an hour trying to find it.
found it. Psalm 139. grand psalm, do look it up. full of buttery goodness (had to say that).
so today Seth and i hung out doing random things, he called like... dah i don't remember when he did (my mind's so on it, can't ya tell?), but i went over to the Wastman's and chilled a bit, then we got to walking, and went back to my place to get him some ibuprofen and i picked up my camera, and while i was here, i heard grand news -- my sister found a place to live in New York! =D Woodside, in north Queens. she really likes where she'll be living and the lady she'll be living with, and yes -- it's Woodside, the irish neighborhood. my dad and i joked after seeing Boondock Saints, it's okay for her to do so =P (after that, Seth and i went over to Nyana's for a while and hung out there and then later went downtown to make sure he could catch his bus).
on the way home i saw my folks, and went with them to westwood to the post office and bank. on the way home after that, i was talking with my mom about going to see my sister. she moves in on the 1st, and i've a meeting on the 1st that i have to be here in seattle for, but after that i'm free to go see her, and want to. mom said, though, "if it's between taking a class this fall and going to New York, which would you do?"
talk about a low blow. for a while i didn't respond, wondering why she'd even brought that up. out of the two classes i'll be taking this fall, i really want to take BCS -- i'm sticking with that. Bosnian's the only thing i'm really sure of God calling me to pursue, aside from youth ministry. i just wanted to get math 102 done and out of the way, but i told her if it was the difference between me going to see Liz and not, then i'd drop math; i don't have to take it now. she said to forget about it right now, but i did add that if it really mattered that much, then i would pay for my own ticket to New York, and if she and dad could help me with paying tuition for Bosnian, then if i got this job at St John's i could pay them back -- i'd get about $100 a week. i'd give it all to them for about 2 months or so and would pay them back.
sigh. life goes on, no? =P but it was great having Seth out here; it was great to finally meet him, and he's a rad awesome homedawg in Christ. fo shizzle rizz.
and thankye for the Apocalyptica CD =D
and now... i am out like shout.

"...it's the end of the world as we know it...and i feel fine..."
=PS=
annnnnnnd... somehow something's changed, so it's OK for me to go to NYC, *and* take both my classes. *raises eyebrow* weird. but good.
so i'll leave 11:59 PM on the 1st of september, and probably stay until the 11th or 12th. =D i'll turn 18 in New York City! wha cha cha. i'm excited, i've never had my birthday in another place before. so liz said though she starts school the 6th, and will have two days of learning and two days of teaching, she'd have the weekend free then to chill with me (and the 2nd to the 5th as well; i can help her prep), but i wanna go see my sister! and i will! yay!
thank you for jetblue.
peace for real,
Nina
